Win more deals. Build lasting customer relationships.
CRM for B2B runs the commercial side of a company that sells to other companies. It holds the account and its sites, and the people inside it with the part each one plays in a purchase.
Focus on opportunities worth pursuing. Your account executive reviews each qualified lead before it enters the pipeline.

Features
Your sales workspace
Every feature works on the same records. Pick one to see the screen your team works in.
Accounts
The company record everything else hangs off: hierarchy, sites, ownership by territory, the account team and the yearly plan for the accounts that matter most.
Every call, meeting, email, demo, task and note, logged against the account and the deal, synced from mail and calendar, and rolled up into the fields managers sort on.
The contract a won deal becomes, the notice deadline and lead time on it, the renewal opportunity the system opens in time, and the expansion sold on top.
Forecast categories on every deal, a quota per rep per period, a weekly submission with commit and best case, and a manager review that is kept alongside it.
Lead to deal ships ready to use. 3 steps need a named approval before the work moves on: Qualify (Sales Manager), Negotiate (Sales Manager) and Bookings check (Deal Desk).
Drag a card to another stage, or focus it and use the arrow keys. It updates to match the stage.

The numbers a sales organisation runs on, each with what it answers and who reads it, all drawn from the same deals, quotes, activities and forecasts the team works in.
How an agent runs B2B CRM: identity, permissions, the calls it makes, and what it may not do without a person.
It can
Sales development rep: Enriches new leads, drafts the first outreach from the source and the campaign, logs replies as activities on the lead, and proposes qualified or disqualified with the reason for the rep to confirm.
Account executive: Keeps the buying committee current from mail and calendar and drafts the next step after each meeting from the notes.
Sales manager: Prepares the pipeline review: deals that slipped between the weekly snapshots, deals with no touch, forecast categories that disagree with the stage, and a draft of the review comment per deal.
Deal desk: Summarises a submitted quote against the account's discount history and the floor, and drafts the approval comment for the approver to decide on.
Stays with a person
The configured workflows must keep lead acceptance with Account Executive, negotiation approval with Sales Manager and bookings validation with Deal Desk.
An agent can prepare evidence and drafts for those decisions.
Forecast review, quote approval and realignment approval also remain human actions.
Rehearsal must verify refusal of unauthorised actions and attribution of every permitted write before the agent is enabled.
The configured workflows must keep lead acceptance with Account Executive, negotiation approval with Sales Manager and bookings validation with Deal Desk.

Data model
Your data, in tables you can change
Every record lives in a table you can see, extend and export. Add fields or whole tables in Proto.
Start with one team and one process, then add the rest once the basics are running.
Map the sales process
The stage set with probabilities, forecast categories and exit criteria; the territory structure and its rules; discount authority per role and floor prices per product. Approval thresholds by reason and level, and the forecast basis, annual or total value, per quota type. Then the forecast day, the fiscal calendar, the period rates and the renewal lead time per contract length. This is a workshop with the sales leader, the managers, the deal desk and operations, and it becomes configuration.
Configure and load master data
Roles and users with managers and territories, stages, sources, campaigns, competitors, products, price books, exchange rates and thresholds. Then accounts, sites, contacts and account teams from the old CRM, loaded in the migration order on the data model page and de-duplicated on the way in. Counts and the managers who know their books check the result.
Migrate the pipeline
Load open leads, opportunities with their contacts and products, quotes with evidence of their approval state, and current contracts with their source quote and notice deadline. Import stage and activity history where available. Import historical forecast lines only with their source submission headers, period and rate context; field-change logs alone are insufficient to recreate an approved weekly forecast.
Rehearse a real week
Leads arriving and routing, a qualified lead accepted, a quote submitted that breaches a threshold and is approved. A win marked and validated by the deal desk, a forecast submitted and reviewed, a renewal deal opened from a contract date. Each role runs their own steps on their own data.
Go live by team
Start with a team whose data and workflow rehearsal passed. Enable mail, calendar and other integrations after their own checks pass. Freeze the migrated team’s old records at its cutover while later teams continue in their assigned system; reconcile shared-account ownership and integration routing before the next cutover. Retire the old CRM after all teams and dependent integrations have moved.
Click Get started, then use Proto to configure B2B CRM for your business. Set up your workflows, import your data and invite your team.
Can we use our own sales stages?
Yes. Stages are configuration with a probability, a forecast category and exit criteria each, and the set carries a closed-won and a closed-lost stage. Change them as your process changes; deals keep their history through the change because each deal points at a stage record, so a rename or a reorder never rewrites a deal.
How does it handle several people on one deal?
Every contact involved is listed on the deal with a buying role (economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator, procurement, legal and so on) and a stance. Exit criteria can require particular roles before a deal moves on.
Who approves a discount?
The rules compare each quote against the rep's discount authority, the product's maximum discount and floor price, the standard terms and the deal size thresholds. A discount beyond the rep's authority goes up the reporting line to the first person whose authority covers it; floors and terms go to the deal desk. The decision is on the record, and nobody approves their own quote.
What stops a deal being marked won too early?
The rep marks it pending close with the accepted quote, and the deal desk checks the quote, the amounts and the signed paperwork before it counts. The forecast, the bookings and the commission feed all read the same validated wins.
Does it do renewals?
Yes. A won deal becomes a contract with an end date, a notice deadline and a renewal lead time. The renewal opportunity opens on that countdown, is worked through the same pipeline and approvals, and the renewal book shows at-risk value by quarter and what was not renewed by reason.
How does forecasting work?
Every open deal has a forecast category. Reps submit weekly; managers review deal by deal, adjust on the record with a comment, and lock the period. Every weekly submission is kept with a line per deal, so the forecast can be rebuilt for any week and checked against what closed. Each quota says whether it is set on annual or total value, and the forecast follows it; deals in other currencies convert at a rate fixed for the period.
Does it read our email and calendar?
Mail and calendar are integration work to configure and verify. The scope includes matching known contacts, preventing duplicate activities and excluding private threads. Delivery failures can flag an address for review; an out-of-office reply alone must not mark someone as having left the company.
Can we keep our marketing and billing systems?
Yes. Campaigns, leads and consent come from marketing automation with their source; won deals go to billing as contracts with dates and lines, and outcomes go back to the campaign. See the integrations page.
What about territories when the team changes?
Sales operations drafts a realignment with new rules and an effective date, models it against the live accounts, and the managers approve the moves for their teams with exceptions. On the date it is applied in bulk, every moved account keeps its previous owner, and open deals do not change hands without a handover the manager confirms.
